Some Tips for a Good Presentation


Engage the audience
Use non-verbal cues, such as making eye contact. Ask the audience questions throughout your presentation.  Questions have added incentive to pay attention to you if they know you may call on them.

Don't read from the screen
You should know the material and tell it directly to the audience in a clear and confident way. 

Apply the KISS principle to your presentation 
Keep it simple, sweetie. Don't distract your audience with slides that contain too much writing, or are too busy with graphs, charts, and other visuals.

Personalize your presentation
Use stories and examples and don’t be afraid to use humour. Humanize it.

Rehearse
Don't simply memorize. Rehearsing the material allows confidence. Practice makes perfect.

Smile
Relax and smile. Practise smiling while you talk.


Expect the unexpected
"The better prepared you are, the more able you are to handle when things go wrong and go with the flow."
